Seeding Wikidata with Municipal Finance Data. Krabina, B. & Polleres, A. In Kaffee, L., Razniewski, S., & Hogan, A., editors, Proceedings of the 2nd Wikidata Workshop (Wikidata 2021) co-located with (ISWC 2021), volume 2982, of CEUR Workshop Proceedings, October, 2021. CEUR-WS.org. Paper abstract bibtex The paradigm shift from cash-based to accrual accounting in the public nances of Austrian municipalities as of 2020, together with the availability of uniform spending data from Austria provides an ideal environment to research the potential of Wikidata for improving awareness of public nance information. The importance of publicly available municipal nance information is of signi cant interest for citizens to ensure trust in public spending and governance at a local level. It is all the more surprising that such spending data is hardly available. The present paper is a rst push towards integrating comparable municipal nance data into Wikidata. Our analysis reveals a lack of joint, standardized representation of common public spending data. Thus we have begun seeding Wikidata with a uni ed corpus of nance data from 379 Austrian municipalities by batch uploading, re-using already existing properties. Our approach is a rst step towards the question whether and how Wikipedia and Wikidata could serve as spaces for information on public nances.
